Teddie Peanut butter – a review

Most of you who have been following my blog know that I don’t dig peanut butter. So when a friend approached me to review a jar of peanut butter, I was obviously a bit hesitant. Good thing is my older one can survive on this thing, so I knew it would not go unappreciated.

This friend of mine has launched a visual platform called ‘VocalBee‘. It’s an extremely interesting medium where anyone can click pictures and upload them through the VocalBee app. These pictures are then processed by the brands that they represent, and if the companies accept those pictures, the uploader gets rewarded with charity/cash prize/coupons/ deals etc. For example, if you upload a picture of a product you love on VocalBee app, the company can accept the picture in their portfolio and you might be rewarded. The association can also be done using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. This is not a promotional post, I really am plugging it because it’s a great platform.

Vocal Bee is also has another great program that they are currently developing – it’s called Photo Memorability. It processes a photograph and records its memorability quotient – which is how memorable the picture is and what is its retention power in people’s memory. Can you think of a picture that you remember more than the others, though it might not have been the best clicked picture even?

Teddie Peanut butter company is one of their first clients that they are working with, and my friend wanted me to give their product a try. So coming back to the peanut butter, I called in my son to become the taster and give his opinion.

He promptly declared that it is one of the best he has had.

I gave it a thought, and I knew it would not be fair to write about a product without tasting it. Much as I dislike it, I picked up a spoon. I was also curious to know the difference between our regular jar of peanut butter and Teddie Peanut butter.

I dipped a spoon in and I really liked it. Going by my dislike of peanut butter, trust me, that’s huge. I REALLY liked it. Specially with some savory chips that I had on hand. It worked as a perfect dip!

My husband and I even had it on bread and could actually get it down the throat without gagging.

I am really glad to have at least one peanut butter that I can eat. I won’t say I am a convert, not exactly, but I do like the organic version of this peanut butter. I got one that has flax seeds. It’s more granular and I like that one too.

I wanted to make something out of it, something savory, considering how well it paired with the ‘chakri’ (a spicy Indian snack, store bought). However, the last few days have been utter madness. I started on a new job, and with the advent of spring, the evening schedules have gone haywire as the sports season start. So excuses aside, I decided to make some peanut butter banana shake.

My sons love milkshakes. That is their normal breakfast, along with an egg. I try to bring in a variety, but had never tried it with peanut butter.

The shake turned out so good that even my younger one who abhors peanut butter had it (though he is not a convert either, not yet). My older one asked for more, and had some after coming back from school.
